The bill amends Section 49-454 of the Idaho Code to increase the Project Choice Program fee from three dollars ($3.00) to eight dollars ($8.00), which will be collected in addition to various registration fees. The collected fees will be deposited into the Idaho law enforcement fund and are designated for creating a career ladder within the Idaho State Police, as well as providing salaries to attract and retain qualified personnel. The bill specifies that the fee will be used exclusively for commissioned officers, dispatch personnel, and forensic personnel starting July 1, 2010.

Additionally, the bill includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the act is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be effective. An emergency is declared, making the act effective on July 1, 2026.
